I love how cyclingnews words it: "Horner's name was not mentioned in USADA's 1000-page report"
The names were redacted out of the document, so while it's blatantly obvious that Rider N.15 can only be Chris Horner, cyclingnews can at the same time not be sued by Horner and technically tell the truth because technically his name wasn't there (in the version released to the public that is)
Cyclingnews articles have become quite smart since Daniel Benson took charge. I like that 
Meanwhile, back on the Gesink subject. Kelderman will make his GT debut there, as his domestique. Kruiswijk will be the other luxury domestique.

Oh, and Purito has offers from several teams but wants to wait 5 days (until next wednesday) to see if Katusha can get things sorted first.

Does that mean they've actually learnt from this year's laughable idea of sending all their three potential GC riders to the Tour?
Mollema set to be the only leader this year then, or will Gesink ride it as well?

I wonder how Kelderman will perform. He's a big talent(Sagan-like of course  )

Gesink is scheduled to be there. If he has the form after doing the Giro (doubtful) he'll lead, otherwise Mollema leads.

I think that Katusha has more chance of getting wildcards than Euskaltel

Me too, but it`s quite funny, i mean “When Katusha came to us, we said yes because for us it doesn’t really matter whether we are WorldTour or Pro Conti,â€. If they don`t care if they`re WT or PCT, why did they made all those transfers...?

Well, Euskaltel might be PCT, but who says UCI makes Katusha WT then?
Why not taking another team instead. |

It's funny especially when word is that Katusha would have been rejected because of financial problems. Suddenly they have the money to run their team, but also to pay for Euskaltel debts. WTF. |

This raises some questions:
1. How did Euskaltel got their license if they are not even able to pay the running costs of their team busses?
2. Why do Euskaltel bosses think that their team is still "cool" after the transfer they did?
3. Why should Katusha get a license now? They didn't meet the requirements. One less WT team does not change that.
4. Why should UCI give a PCT license to Euskaltel after this action?
5. What more is needed to get rid of the UCI and its corrupt management? |

Jonathan Vaughters: "I love those orange guys and if they need extra money to gas up their bus, I’m sure we could throw some euros their way." 
Perhaps Euskaltel should open an account where all the other teams can send their contibutions
